Coloured bath resurfacing near Mallaig

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mallaig

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mallaig, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Mallaig, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Mallaig

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

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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