Coloured bath resurfacing in Alnwickhill without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Alnwickhill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What else we do in Alnwickhill
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Alnwickhill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alnwickhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
