About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lochee

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Lochee: your questions answered

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dundee.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you work in Lochee?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lochee. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochee

If you manage property in Lochee, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

When to call us in Lochee

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 work on in Lochee

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lochee. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Lochee

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
