Old Swan questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Old Swan?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Swan. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Liverpool.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Swan, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Swan as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we are called out for in Old Swan

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Old Swan

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Swan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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 fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Old Swan. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.
