Coloured bath resurfacing in Tobermory, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tobermory

What we’re called out for in Tobermory

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Questions from Tobermory

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

Everywhere in the UK, Tobermory included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Tobermory

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Tobermory clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
