What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pittulie

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pittulie. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Pittulie

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Pittulie

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
