Coloured bath resurfacing in Braehoulland, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Braehoulland as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Braehoulland. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Braehoulland

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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