When to call us in Auchinstarry

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Auchinstarry, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Auchinstarry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Auchinstarry: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Auchinstarry

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Auchinstarry

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
