Coloured bath resurfacing near Pencaitland

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pencaitland

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pencaitland and across East Lothian. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pencaitland

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Pencaitland?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pencaitland and the rest of East Lothian. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What about the toilet?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pencaitland

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Common problems we fix in Pencaitland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pencaitland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
