Common questions in Gwerneirin
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
