DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Little Chesterford: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Little Chesterford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Little Chesterford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Little Chesterford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Little Chesterford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CB10 postcode.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Little Chesterford customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Chesterford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Little Chesterford

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.
