Coloured bath resurfacing near Lochfoot

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lochfoot without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lochfoot as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Questions from Lochfoot

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Lochfoot

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
