Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Linburn

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Linburn. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Linburn

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Linburn questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH27 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Linburn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
