Coloured bath resurfacing in Eddleston, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Eddleston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH45 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Eddleston
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Eddleston
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
