How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Balloch

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Balloch

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

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 quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Balloch get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
