Low Walker questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Low Walker?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Low Walker for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What affects the price in Low Walker

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Low Walker get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • 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
