Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pippin Street
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work

There are no surprise 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.

FAQs for Pippin Street
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Pippin Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pippin Street. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
