What affects the price in Swanton Abbott

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Swanton Abbott. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swanton Abbott, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swanton Abbott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

FAQs for Swanton Abbott

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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