Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Thurlby

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Thurlby customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Thurlby

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Thurlby

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Our hiring checklist

Thurlby: your questions answered

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
