Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Pipe and Lyde

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pipe and Lyde

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Pipe and Lyde and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Pipe and Lyde

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Pipe and Lyde: your questions answered

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Pipe and Lyde. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pipe and Lyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HR1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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