When to call us in Walton Elm

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Walton Elm. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

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

Materials we work on in Walton Elm
