Common problems we fix in Werneth

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Prices and what affects them

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

How easy the damage is to reach
The material
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A close-up of the damage, in focus
The material, if you know it
A wider photo showing the entire suite
Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Werneth

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Werneth?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover Werneth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Werneth and the rest of Oldham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Werneth. Prices do not change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Werneth

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
