Hello Nicholas,

The easiest way to replace a package is to use the yum-replace package:
  http://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuide#Upgrading_Stock_RHEL_Packages_to_IUS_Packages

In your scenario the command would be:
  yum replace php52 --replace-with php53u

yum-replace should take care of removing the php52 packages (rpm) and add in any php53u modules needed,
any custom module built from source or outside yum/rpm will need to be removed and rebuilt against the
latest versions of PHP (php53u in this case)
