What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Bielside
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Bielside
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
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.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
