Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West End

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

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: 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

FAQs for West End

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Common problems we fix in West End

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why West End clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

What affects the price in West End

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
