New Mills: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover New Mills?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in New Mills?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Faded or patchy colour

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Mills use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to New Mills. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
