Coloured bath resurfacing in Cowlairs

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cowlairs without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowlairs as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Cowlairs

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:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Cowlairs

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cowlairs?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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 cover Cowlairs?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cowlairs. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Cowlairs?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cowlairs. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Cowlairs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cowlairs. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

For a price in Cowlairs, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Cowlairs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
