What affects the price in Rampisham

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rampisham

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rampisham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Rampisham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rampisham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Rampisham

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
