Coloured bath resurfacing for Baile Ailein homes

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Baile Ailein

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Baile Ailein

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Baile Ailein

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Baile Ailein?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
