Choosing a repair company

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whyteleafe

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whyteleafe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whyteleafe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CR3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.

Questions from Whyteleafe

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
