Coloured bath resurfacing near Carntyne

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Carntyne, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. 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 dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carntyne and across Glasgow. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Carntyne: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. 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 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, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Carntyne

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
