Coloured bath resurfacing near Aberlady

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Aberlady without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Aberlady questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Aberlady

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Aberlady contact us include:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aberlady. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberlady

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberlady use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Aberlady

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Aberlady. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
