Coloured bath resurfacing in Ardpeaton

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ardpeaton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ardpeaton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ardpeaton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, 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. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
