Coloured bath resurfacing near Strathwhillan

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Strathwhillan, 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 selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Strathwhillan

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll 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’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Landlord and trade work in Strathwhillan

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Strathwhillan

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Strathwhillan

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
