Coloured bath resurfacing near Kilmun

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kilmun, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilmun use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
