Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Allanton

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 regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Allanton

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

Common questions in Allanton

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Allanton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

What affects the price in Allanton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Allanton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
