Repairing versus replacing in St Abbs

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in St Abbs

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 usually cheaper.

What affects the price in St Abbs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in St Abbs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Abbs?

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
