What affects the price in Sandfields

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandfields

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Sandfields

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Repair or replace in Sandfields?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Sandfields

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Sandfields

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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