Repairing versus replacing in Clovenfords

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clovenfords. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Clovenfords

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Clovenfords

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

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

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Clovenfords

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
