DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pilrig
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Honest limits
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilrig
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
