Coloured bath resurfacing in Penicuik, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penicuik?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Penicuik?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common questions in Penicuik

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Penicuik?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Penicuik?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penicuik for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Penicuik included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’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)

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