How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whitfield

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Whitfield

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dundee and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitfield. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whitfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Whitfield, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Whitfield

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Whitfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are you accredited?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
