Coloured bath resurfacing in Bilstone, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bilstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Bilstone

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Bilstone

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you cover Bilstone?

We do. Technicians travel to Bilstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When to call us in Bilstone

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
