The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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 care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Hilton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Hilton customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hilton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Hilton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Hilton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hilton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hilton?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
