Coloured bath resurfacing for Inveresk homes

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Inveresk?

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Inveresk

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Inveresk?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Inveresk. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Inveresk. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Inveresk

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Inveresk, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
