Repairing versus replacing in Shobdon
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
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.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Shobdon
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
