Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Milltimber

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Milltimber

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Milltimber

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common questions in Milltimber

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeen.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Milltimber. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Milltimber, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milltimber as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
