Landlord and trade work in Ottery St Mary

Ottery St Mary questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you come to Ottery St Mary?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ottery St Mary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Ottery St Mary?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ottery St Mary. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
