Coloured bath resurfacing near Craigiebank

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Craigiebank

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Craigiebank: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Craigiebank?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What a repair cannot fix

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Craigiebank

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigiebank

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Craigiebank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
