Coloured bath resurfacing near Ardheisker

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ardheisker

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardheisker use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Ardheisker

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Ardheisker?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
