Tholomas Drove: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tholomas Drove without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Tholomas Drove

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tholomas Drove

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Tholomas Drove

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow 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. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in Tholomas Drove?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
