Repairing versus replacing in Arthurlie
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. If your suite in Arthurlie is sound, a repair is generally the better choice.
Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Arthurlie
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
In a smaller place like Arthurlie, homes are frequently houses and bungalows rather than flats, many with their original bathrooms. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing saves replacing it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Arthurlie
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally 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
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Bourock Parish Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Arthurlie
My house in Arthurlie is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

I let a flat near Barrhead station. Can you help between tenants?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a smaller place like Arthurlie, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G78 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
