How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kiltarlity

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Kiltarlity

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

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

What we work on

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