Coloured bath resurfacing in West Linton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in West Linton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in West Linton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in West Linton

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for West Linton

Do you work in West Linton?

We do. Technicians travel to West Linton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlord and trade work in West Linton

If you manage property in West Linton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.
