Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not 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.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Epping

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Epping, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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.

What affects the price in Epping

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Epping. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Epping, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Epping: your questions answered

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Common problems we fix in Epping

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

Common reasons people in Epping contact us are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
