About our coloured bath resurfacing in Birchburn
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Birchburn
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Birchburn included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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 will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Birchburn?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairing versus replacing in Birchburn
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start 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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchburn
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
