Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in New Cumnock

Coloured bath resurfacing in New Cumnock without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Cumnock as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in New Cumnock

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of East Ayrshire?

All of East Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common problems we fix in New Cumnock

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to New Cumnock. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in New Cumnock and want a price, 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.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
