Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Elsrickle

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Elsrickle

Is there any odour?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Elsrickle. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you come to Elsrickle?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Elsrickle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

When to call us in Elsrickle

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A suite that does not 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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsrickle

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elsrickle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite

For a price in Elsrickle, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
