Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Balfour
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balfour and across Aberdeenshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Balfour
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What affects the price in Balfour
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Balfour, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Repair or replace in Balfour?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balfour. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
