Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkliston

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 changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkliston

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Kirkliston

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Kirkliston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Questions from Kirkliston

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

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

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
