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 with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

10 questions to ask before you book

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hayton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hayton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Hayton

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hayton.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
