Coloured bath resurfacing in Lochardil

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lochardil without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lochardil. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Lochardil customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Lochardil

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Lochardil

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Questions from Lochardil

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you come to Lochardil?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lochardil from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
