A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Common questions in Kilmarnock

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Kilmarnock?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Common problems we fix in Kilmarnock

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kilmarnock, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Kilmarnock customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilmarnock use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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