Coloured bath resurfacing in Hillhead, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hillhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillhead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hillhead?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

FAQs for Hillhead

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Hillhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillhead and the rest of South Ayrshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

All of South Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
