FAQs for North Brixton

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in North Brixton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repair or replace in North Brixton?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in North Brixton

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in North Brixton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures 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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What affects the price in North Brixton

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Brixton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
