What affects the price in Kempston Hardwick

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Kempston Hardwick

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Bedford Borough?

The whole UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Kempston Hardwick?

We do. We send a technician to Kempston Hardwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
