Common questions in Ponjeravah

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ponjeravah?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TR11 postcode.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ponjeravah

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Ponjeravah

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Ponjeravah, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Most customers in Ponjeravah get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
