Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackbank without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Blackbank
Do you cover Blackbank?
We do. We send a technician to Blackbank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Blackbank?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
