What we are called out for in Balerno
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Balerno
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Balerno. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Balerno
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Balerno?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
