Coloured bath resurfacing for Dillarburn homes

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dillarburn, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

In a village like Dillarburn, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we are called out for in Dillarburn

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 typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • 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

If you let a flat or house near Lanark station (about 4.1 miles east), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Dillarburn

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dillarburn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. For a rural address like Dillarburn, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the coloured bath resurfacing, so there’s no second trip.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Most clients in Dillarburn get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Replacement in Dillarburn means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Dillarburn

My house in Dillarburn is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.

I let a flat near Lanark station. Can you help between tenants?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Dillarburn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
