Coloured bath resurfacing for Pilling homes

Pilling questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR3 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pilling

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pilling as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What we’re called out for in Pilling

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilling

If you manage property in Pilling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

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’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
