Repairing versus replacing in Ceri

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ceri

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Ceri

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ceri included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Common problems we fix in Ceri

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ceri. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
