Old Moat questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Moat
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Old Moat. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Old Moat and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What we do, step by step
