Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Heathfield

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Old Heathfield customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Old Heathfield

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Old Heathfield. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Heathfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
