Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Drumchapel
We travel to Drumchapel for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Coloured bath resurfacing in Drumchapel without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Drumchapel

Drumchapel questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Drumchapel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Drumchapel
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
