Common questions in Withnell

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Withnell

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, 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. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Withnell?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Withnell?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works

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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
