Coloured bath resurfacing in Brae, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Brae
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Brae, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Brae?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Brae, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brae. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
