Repair or replace in Puddle Town?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Puddle Town

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Puddle Town

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Puddle Town

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Puddle Town use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Puddle Town, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
