What affects the price in Benington

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

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The material and finish
How many areas need work
Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

One picture of the entire suite
The material, if you know it
Where you are, by postcode
Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Benington questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Benington?

We do. We send a technician to Benington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
