Coloured bath resurfacing in Drumsturdy, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Drumsturdy
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Drumsturdy
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
