We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pilsgate

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means 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. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Pilsgate

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Pilsgate: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pilsgate. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
