Coloured bath resurfacing for Brunstane homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

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

Materials we work on in Brunstane

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Brunstane

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What affects the price in Brunstane

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brunstane. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Brunstane, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Brunstane

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, 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. 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
