Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Piccotts End

Coloured bath resurfacing in Piccotts End, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Piccotts End?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Piccotts End clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Piccotts End

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Piccotts End. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Piccotts End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Piccotts End: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
