Coloured bath resurfacing for Hunters Quay homes

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. 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. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hunters Quay

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hunters Quay and across Argyll and Bute. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hunters Quay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Hunters Quay: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are there extra charges for Hunters Quay?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Hunters Quay?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hunters Quay and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
