Common questions in Lower Holbrook

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Lower Holbrook and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

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

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Holbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Holbrook?

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Lower Holbrook

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
