10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newstead

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. 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, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Newstead. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Newstead, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
