What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Auchenhowie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Auchenhowie without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
For a rural address like Auchenhowie, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will do the rest.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Auchenhowie, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Yes, we do: Auchenhowie is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
My house in Auchenhowie is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Usually, yes. Older coloured suites are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
If you let a flat or house near Milngavie station (about 0.6 miles north-west), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
