Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Comely Bank
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Comely Bank
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We cover the entire UK, including Comely Bank and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Comely Bank
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Comely Bank
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
