Coloured bath resurfacing near Queen's Cross

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Queen's Cross

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Queen's Cross

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Queen's Cross?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Queen's Cross and the rest of Aberdeen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Queen's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

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

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
