About our coloured bath resurfacing in Killochyett

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

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

Common questions in Killochyett

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Killochyett?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Killochyett. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Landlord and trade work in Killochyett

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, 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.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 booking.
