Book coloured bath resurfacing in Dunscore

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunscore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dunscore

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white 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’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Dunscore

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Dunscore

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Dunscore. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dunscore?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Honest limits

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)

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

Materials we work on in Dunscore

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
