Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Keills

Coloured bath resurfacing in Keills, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Keills and across Argyll and Bute. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Keills, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Keills

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Keills

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
