Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Portskerra

Coloured bath resurfacing in Portskerra without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Portskerra

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we’re called out for in Portskerra

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For a price in Portskerra, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Portskerra customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Portskerra. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
