What affects the price in Whitefield

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Whitefield, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitefield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
