About our coloured bath resurfacing in Craigleith
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craigleith as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: 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 quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Craigleith
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Craigleith?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
We cover the whole UK, including Craigleith and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Common problems we fix in Craigleith
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
