What affects the price in D'Arcy

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including D'Arcy. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in D'Arcy

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in D'Arcy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in D'Arcy?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in D'Arcy?

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

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in D'Arcy

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in D'Arcy.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover D'Arcy?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to D'Arcy and the rest of Midlothian. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
