Coloured bath resurfacing near Old Monkland

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Old Monkland

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Monkland, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Old Monkland. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Old Monkland.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
