Questions from Sighthill

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Sighthill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sighthill. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Sighthill?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
