How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Carberry
Are there extra charges for Carberry?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
