Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ardentinny

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardentinny

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ardentinny

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
