Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Byford questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Byford. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Byford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Byford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Byford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What else we do in Byford
What affects the price in Byford
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Byford. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once

Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Byford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
