Coloured bath resurfacing near Gretna Green

Coloured bath resurfacing in Gretna Green without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Gretna Green

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Gretna Green. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Gretna Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gretna Green?

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.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gretna Green

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gretna Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
