Coloured suite to white in Sandy Cross, Surrey

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Sandy Cross
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandy Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Sandy Cross
Sandy Cross: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlord and trade work in Sandy Cross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
