Coloured bath resurfacing for Portlethen Village homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Portlethen Village

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Portlethen Village as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Portlethen Village?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Portlethen Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Portlethen Village

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Portlethen Village?

We do. We send a technician to Portlethen Village for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
