Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

FAQs for Riber
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Riber included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Riber. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riber
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
