About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dirleton

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Dirleton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dirleton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dirleton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Dirleton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Dirleton

Replacing a coloured suite means 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 whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
