Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Balgay

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Balgay

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Balgay and across Dundee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Balgay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Balgay?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
