Coloured suite to white in Auchmithie, Angus
Our repair technicians come to Auchmithie for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Auchmithie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Auchmithie questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Auchmithie?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Auchmithie and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Auchmithie
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
