About our coloured bath resurfacing in Burgh Muir
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Burgh Muir
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burgh Muir use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Burgh Muir?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burgh Muir. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Burgh Muir
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
