FAQs for Laxton

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Laxton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Laxton

If you manage property in Laxton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Laxton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Laxton

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
