Coloured bath resurfacing for Craichie homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Craichie, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 before you book.

Common problems we fix in Craichie

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craichie

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craichie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Craichie

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Craichie

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the whole of Angus?

The whole UK, including all of Angus. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
