The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, 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 Nuthurst

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Nuthurst

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Nuthurst is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for Nuthurst?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)

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

Materials we work on in Nuthurst
