Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Muirton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Muirton without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Muirton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Muirton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Muirton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Muirton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
