Coloured bath resurfacing in Clachan Shannda

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Clachan Shannda

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clachan Shannda. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Clachan Shannda, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Clachan Shannda

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common problems we fix in Clachan Shannda

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. 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. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
