Coloured bath resurfacing for Blackridge homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackridge, done in place

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. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackridge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Blackridge

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Blackridge and the rest of West Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Common problems we fix in Blackridge

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Blackridge

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

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