Landlords, agents and businesses in Taxal

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Taxal

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Taxal

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Taxal. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Taxal

Are you a vetted contractor?

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Taxal and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Taxal?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
