Repairing versus replacing in Stanford-le-Hope

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Stanford-le-Hope

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Stanford-le-Hope get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Stanford-le-Hope

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
