Coloured bath resurfacing in Dornoch

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dornoch

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Dornoch questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

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

What about the toilet?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For a price in Dornoch, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Dornoch

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Dornoch contact us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Dornoch

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Dornoch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dornoch. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dornoch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t 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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
