About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bridge of Dee

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bridge of Dee

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bridge of Dee?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bridge of Dee included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire suite

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Bridge of Dee

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridge of Dee as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Bridge of Dee

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