Coloured bath resurfacing in Larkhall

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Larkhall

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Larkhall and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Larkhall?

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Larkhall

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Larkhall?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
