Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Gartocharn, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gartocharn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Dunbartonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Gartocharn without replacing anything
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 faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

What affects the price in Gartocharn
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Getting a price is easy: 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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
