Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shellbrook. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shellbrook

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Shellbrook

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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