Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Whipsiderry and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Whipsiderry

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

Whipsiderry: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Whipsiderry?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repairing versus replacing in Whipsiderry

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Whipsiderry, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
