Coloured bath resurfacing near Lyne of Skene

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lyne of Skene, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lyne of Skene?

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • 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 your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Lyne of Skene

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Lyne of Skene

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lyne of Skene. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
