Repairing versus replacing in Moor End
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.

What affects the price in Moor End
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Moor End
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s 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 picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Advice
Common questions in Moor End
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
