Coloured bath resurfacing in New Stevenston without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Stevenston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in New Stevenston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

New Stevenston questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When can you do it?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about the toilet?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in New Stevenston

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
