Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Woodthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Woodthorpe
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Woodthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Woodthorpe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
