How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Nigg

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Nigg and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Nigg

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Nigg?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nigg for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Nigg?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white 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: 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

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nigg

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Nigg. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
