About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pilley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pilley and across Hampshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Pilley

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pilley. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pilley?

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pilley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Pilley

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What about the toilet?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
