About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pightley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Pightley

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Pightley questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you come to Pightley?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
