Repairing versus replacing in Unthank
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Unthank
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 repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Unthank
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Unthank questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the entire of Angus?
All of Angus, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Unthank?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Unthank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Unthank. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
