Common questions in Terras

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you come to Terras?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Terras. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about the toilet?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Terras without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Terras

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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 day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Terras and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
