Repairing versus replacing in Clothall

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Clothall

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Clothall. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Clothall

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Clothall

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
