How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Musselburgh

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Musselburgh?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Musselburgh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Musselburgh questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Musselburgh and the rest of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Musselburgh

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
