Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Garrabost

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Garrabost

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Garrabost

Garrabost questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Garrabost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
