Coloured bath resurfacing in Cousland

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cousland

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cousland and across Midlothian. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Cousland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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 long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cousland, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
