Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing in Micklethwaite

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Micklethwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Micklethwaite: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Bradford. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are there extra charges for Micklethwaite?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Micklethwaite

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Micklethwaite

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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