Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ardgay

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ardgay

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you have a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Rural addresses like Ardgay just need a little planning. Let us know about access and where to park, and we’ll do the rest.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Ardgay

My house in Ardgay is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.

Can you fix coloured suites in a rental near Ardgay station?

Yes. We repair coloured suites between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Can landlords book you?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ardgay

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

For older houses around Ardgay, near landmarks such as Free Church of Scotland, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it. For a rural address like Ardgay, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the coloured bath resurfacing comes with us in one trip.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardgay

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardgay use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Older homes around Ardgay may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ardgay. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
