Questions from Knowle St Giles

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Knowle St Giles. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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