What affects the price in Stagden Cross

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stagden Cross

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stagden Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Stagden Cross: your questions answered

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Stagden Cross?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM1 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Stagden Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Stagden Cross

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
