Coloured bath resurfacing in East Kilbride

What we’re called out for in East Kilbride

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in East Kilbride

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in East Kilbride

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so East Kilbride is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for East Kilbride?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What affects the price in East Kilbride

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in East Kilbride and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Kilbride

For anyone letting property in or around East Kilbride, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G74 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
