Coloured bath resurfacing in Wester Broom

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wester Broom without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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

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

When to call us in Wester Broom

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A suite that doesn’t 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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wester Broom

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Wester Broom?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wester Broom, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
