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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Burnside of Duntrune

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Burnside of Duntrune and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Burnside of Duntrune

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Burnside of Duntrune?

We do. We send a technician to Burnside of Duntrune for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Burnside of Duntrune

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
