Coloured bath resurfacing near Arbroath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Arbroath without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arbroath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Arbroath

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover the entire of Angus?

Everywhere in the UK, Arbroath included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Arbroath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Arbroath

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
