Coloured bath resurfacing near Knockentiber

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Knockentiber

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Knockentiber

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What about the toilet?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When to call us in Knockentiber

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knockentiber

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

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 you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Knockentiber, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
