Coloured bath resurfacing in Allanton, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Allanton
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Allanton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Allanton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Allanton and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Allanton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Allanton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Allanton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
