Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.
- 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, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Chilcompton
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Chilcompton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilcompton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Chilcompton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
