DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

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

Common problems we fix in Wood End

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wood End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
