Coloured bath resurfacing for Airdrie homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Airdrie clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Coloured bath resurfacing in Airdrie without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Airdrie

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Airdrie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
