Need coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkton of Auchterhouse and across Dundee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Kirkton of Auchterhouse

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
