DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common problems we fix in Kimpton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kimpton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Kimpton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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 without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
