Coloured bath resurfacing near Pimlico

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pimlico

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white 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 nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

FAQs for Pimlico

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Pimlico?

We do. We send a technician to Pimlico for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

What affects the price in Pimlico

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
