Common problems we fix in Pentire

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pentire without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pentire

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Pentire?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What about the toilet?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pentire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pentire. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
