Coloured bath resurfacing near An t-Ollach

Coloured bath resurfacing in An t-Ollach without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in An t-Ollach

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

An t-Ollach: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in An t-Ollach?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IV51 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in An t-Ollach

For anyone letting property in or around An t-Ollach, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including An t-Ollach. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
