Sacriston questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Sacriston

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Sacriston

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sacriston. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Sacriston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
