- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What affects the price in Drumbrae
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Drumbrae. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Drumbrae, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Drumbrae
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Drumbrae: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Drumbrae is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Drumbrae?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Drumbrae?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
