Landlord and trade work in Sanndabhaig

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sanndabhaig, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Sanndabhaig get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Sanndabhaig

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Sanndabhaig

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
