Coloured bath resurfacing in Edinburgh Waterfront without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh Waterfront
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edinburgh Waterfront as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Edinburgh Waterfront. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

When to call us in Edinburgh Waterfront
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- 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
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Edinburgh Waterfront?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before booking

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Edinburgh Waterfront
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
