What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Coulter

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Coulter?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coulter for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

When we would advise against a repair

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)

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

Materials we work on in Coulter

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

What we are called out for in Coulter

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • 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

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Coulter

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Coulter. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Coulter, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
