Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Drem

Coloured bath resurfacing in Drem, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Drem, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Drem

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Drem, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Drem

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Drem?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Drem. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
