Coloured bath resurfacing in Moniaive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Moniaive

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Moniaive. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Moniaive clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

What we are called out for in Moniaive

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Moniaive

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Moniaive. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Landlord and trade work in Moniaive

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moniaive as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Moniaive

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Moniaive, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
