Coloured bath resurfacing in Cockenzie and Port Seton, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Cockenzie and Port Seton
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Landlord and trade work in Cockenzie and Port Seton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
