Coloured bath resurfacing in Cathcart, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before booking

Landlord and trade work in Cathcart

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What else we do in Cathcart
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cathcart
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can tenants book a repair?

Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
