Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shotts

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shotts as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Shotts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Shotts

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Shotts?

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shotts?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
