Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Skirling

Coloured bath resurfacing in Skirling without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Skirling

For anyone letting property in or around Skirling, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Skirling

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Skirling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skirling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ML12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
