Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Long Row. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Long Row
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Long Row is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole suite
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Long Row, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Long Row, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
