Repairing versus replacing in Saxlingham Thorpe
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Saxlingham Thorpe: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Saxlingham Thorpe. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Saxlingham Thorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saxlingham Thorpe
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxlingham Thorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
