What affects the price in Somerford

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when 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. 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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Somerford questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Somerford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Somerford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
