Coloured bath resurfacing for Tarland homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tarland

Most suites take one or 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 dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tarland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Tarland questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
