FAQs for Wheatley Hill
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wheatley Hill. Prices do not change with location.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Wheatley Hill, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Wheatley Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Wheatley Hill
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Wheatley Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
