Coloured bath resurfacing in Portlethen, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Portlethen

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Portlethen?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
