FAQs for Talke
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Talke?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Talke as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Talke?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
What affects the price in Talke
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
