Coloured bath resurfacing in Hurlford

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hurlford

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hurlford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Hurlford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Hurlford

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hurlford. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hurlford

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • 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

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
