Coloured bath resurfacing near Tarbet

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tarbet

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Tarbet

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Tarbet contact us are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Tarbet: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Tarbet?

We do. We send a technician to Tarbet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tarbet, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Tarbet?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
