Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheddon Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wheddon Cross

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Wheddon Cross

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Wheddon Cross. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Wheddon Cross

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you work in Wheddon Cross?

We do. We send a technician to Wheddon Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
