About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkhead

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Hawkhead

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawkhead, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
