Coloured bath resurfacing for Shieldaig homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shieldaig without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Shieldaig questions

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shieldaig included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Shieldaig, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shieldaig. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Shieldaig and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Shieldaig

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
