Coloured bath resurfacing near Garelochhead

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Garelochhead clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Coloured bath resurfacing in Garelochhead without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Garelochhead

Do you come to Garelochhead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Garelochhead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

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.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

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

Are there extra charges for Garelochhead?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garelochhead

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garelochhead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Garelochhead. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
