Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sgalpaigh

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Sgalpaigh

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Sgalpaigh

When can you do it?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you cover Sgalpaigh?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sgalpaigh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Sgalpaigh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • 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

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
