Coloured bath resurfacing near Pipehouse

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pipehouse, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Pipehouse

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pipehouse, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Pipehouse clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Pipehouse

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Pipehouse and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Pipehouse?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you come to Pipehouse?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pipehouse and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
