Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What a repair can’t fix

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pontygwaith. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Pontygwaith, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
