Repairing versus replacing in Chitty
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Chitty
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Chitty
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
