Coloured bath resurfacing for Aberchalder homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aberchalder

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Our work in Aberchalder

Aberchalder is about 32 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Aberchalder is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.

We cover every part of PH35 and the streets around it. Neighbouring places we cover include Newtown (1 mile north-east), Fort Augustus (4 miles north-east), Laggan (5 miles south-west), Glen Moriston (6 miles north-west) and Invermoriston (9 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

Landmarks near Aberchalder

A little further out are Invergarry Castle (2.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Lochan Doire Cadha.

Landlord and trade work in Aberchalder

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberchalder use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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

Common problems we fix in Aberchalder

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Aberchalder

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

What affects the price in Aberchalder

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Aberchalder. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
