Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for The Rock
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?
We work UK-wide, so The Rock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in The Rock?
We do. Technicians travel to The Rock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for The Rock?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in The Rock
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.

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