Coloured suite to white in Cathkin, South Lanarkshire
We travel to Cathkin for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- Colour mixed on the day to match

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cathkin, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Cathkin
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we can’t put right
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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Cathkin questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Cathkin?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Cathkin?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cathkin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cathkin
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
