For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Burdiehouse, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Burdiehouse
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Burdiehouse
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Burdiehouse?
We do. We send a technician to Burdiehouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Burdiehouse
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we are called out for in Burdiehouse
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Burdiehouse contact us are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Burdiehouse, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
