Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Pilsley, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Pilsley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Lower Pilsley

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Pilsley?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Lower Pilsley?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Lower Pilsley?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Lower Pilsley

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
