Repairing versus replacing in Old Tame
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Tame
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Tame as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
