Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Cairndow

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cairndow

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cairndow. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cairndow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Cairndow

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cairndow

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

Everywhere in the UK, Cairndow included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
