Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Colinton Mains
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Colinton Mains included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Colinton Mains
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is

Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
