What affects the price in Leavening

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Leavening. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Leavening and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leavening

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Leavening

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Leavening

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What areas do you cover?

Is a repair better than a new one?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
