Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Colinton homes
Coloured bath resurfacing in Colinton without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Colinton
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Colinton
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Colinton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Colinton customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we’re called out for in Colinton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colinton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
