Landlord and trade work in Kilmichael Glassary

For anyone letting property in or around Kilmichael Glassary, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kilmichael Glassary, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Kilmichael Glassary questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover Kilmichael Glassary?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kilmichael Glassary for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
