Coloured bath resurfacing near Stranraer

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stranraer, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Stranraer

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

FAQs for Stranraer

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

We cover the entire UK, including Stranraer and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Stranraer?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DG9 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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