Coloured bath resurfacing for Straiton homes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Straiton

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Straiton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Straiton and across South Ayrshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Straiton

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Straiton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Straiton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
