When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tomintoul

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tomintoul

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Tomintoul

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Tomintoul

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Tomintoul?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
