How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tighnabruaich

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tighnabruaich. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tighnabruaich. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PA21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Tighnabruaich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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