Coloured bath resurfacing near Dunbeath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dunbeath without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Dunbeath

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Dunbeath

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunbeath

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dunbeath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
