Coloured bath resurfacing in Bolton without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Bolton
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bolton questions
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bolton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH41 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Landlord and trade work in Bolton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bolton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
