What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Douglastown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Douglastown, done in place

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. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Douglastown and across Angus. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Douglastown

Is it messy?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Douglastown?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

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

We cover the whole UK, including Douglastown and the rest of Angus. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
