Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Horsted

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Horsted. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Little Horsted

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
