Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ardfern. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ardfern, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ardfern, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ardfern as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ardfern

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Ardfern: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Our repair technicians cover 118 places across Argyll and Bute, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Ardfern to Glasgow (about 54 miles away).

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardfern

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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