How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Buckie
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Buckie?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Buckie
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
When to call us in Buckie
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Buckie, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What else we do in Buckie
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
