Common questions in Way
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Way?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Way. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Way?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT12 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Way as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For a price in Way, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
