What else we do in South Pelaw
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in South Pelaw
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in South Pelaw

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in South Pelaw
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in South Pelaw, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
