Coloured bath resurfacing in Knightswood without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Knightswood

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Knightswood. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Knightswood

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Knightswood?

We do. Technicians travel to Knightswood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Knightswood?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
