Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gladsmuir. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gladsmuir

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Gladsmuir?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gladsmuir and the rest of East Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Gladsmuir?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
