Repairing versus replacing in Hirst Courtney

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Hirst Courtney customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hirst Courtney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Hirst Courtney and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Hirst Courtney

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Is there any odour?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Hirst Courtney

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in Hirst Courtney

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.

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