FAQs for Swepstone

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Swepstone?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swepstone without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Swepstone

Repairing versus replacing in Swepstone

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Swepstone

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
