Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Port Askaig

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Advice

What we are called out for in Port Askaig

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Port Askaig, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often 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.

Port Askaig: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Port Askaig. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Port Askaig get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
