Coloured bath resurfacing in Bowling

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bowling

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

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)

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Bowling

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bowling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Bowling

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Bowling?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bowling from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
