Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ardchattan

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ardchattan without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Ardchattan

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ardchattan

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.
