Coloured bath resurfacing for Castlemilk homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Castlemilk without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Castlemilk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Castlemilk. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Castlemilk, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
