Little Yeldham questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Little Yeldham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Little Yeldham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Little Yeldham and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Yeldham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Little Yeldham

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Little Yeldham?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Little Yeldham

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Little Yeldham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
