How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in East Craigs
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in East Craigs?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

East Craigs: your questions answered
Do you work in East Craigs?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Craigs for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Across the UK, so East Craigs is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Common problems we fix in East Craigs

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
