Repair or replace in Cowhill?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Cowhill
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cowhill. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Cowhill
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Cowhill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cowhill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowhill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Cowhill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
