Coloured bath resurfacing for Craigrothie homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Craigrothie without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Craigrothie

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Craigrothie

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
