Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Argyll and Bute

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Argyll and Bute

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Pricing in Argyll and Bute

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What’s near Helensburgh

Typical jobs here are in homes near Lomond School, The Henry Bell pub and St Joseph's R.C. Church. There’s a railway station in Helensburgh itself: Helensburgh Central station. Other landmarks nearby include Ardencaple Castle (1.3 miles west) and Victoria Infirmary (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Lyle Hill.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Argyll and Bute

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

Repair or replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place.

Common problems we fix in Argyll and Bute

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Argyll and Bute

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Argyll and Bute.
