Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Muirend, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Muirend

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Muirend, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Muirend use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Muirend. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
