Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Torphichen

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Torphichen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Torphichen

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Torphichen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Torphichen

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

What we are called out for in Torphichen

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Torphichen questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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