Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Priestland

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

In the older streets of Priestland, around landmarks like Darvel Central Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Priestland

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Somewhere as small as Priestland, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Priestland get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Priestland

Will you travel to Priestland?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Priestland?

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we’ll advise.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repair or replace in Priestland?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Older homes around Priestland may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go. In a village or hamlet like Priestland, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
