What affects the price in Pettaugh

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pettaugh without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Pettaugh

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Pettaugh?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP14 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you come to Pettaugh?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pettaugh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettaugh

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Pettaugh

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.

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Pettaugh?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pettaugh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
