Coloured bath resurfacing in Strathmartine

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Strathmartine

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Common questions in Strathmartine

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Strathmartine. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Strathmartine?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
