Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Torryburn

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Questions from Torryburn

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you come to Torryburn?

We do. We send a technician to Torryburn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Torryburn

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Torryburn

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Torryburn

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
