How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Biggar
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Biggar and across South Lanarkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 often lifts.
