Coloured bath resurfacing in Hill of Keir

FAQs for Hill of Keir

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hill of Keir

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Hill of Keir

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Hill of Keir

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hill of Keir. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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

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