Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Broxburn

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Broxburn without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Broxburn?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broxburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Broxburn questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Broxburn?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about the toilet?

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH42 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
