Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deritend
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Deritend
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Deritend?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B5 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
What we’re called out for in Deritend

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Deritend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
