Common questions in Shebdon

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shebdon

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

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

What a repair cannot fix

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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shebdon

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shebdon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Shebdon

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
