Coloured bath resurfacing in Gelston, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gelston and across Dumfries and Galloway. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Gelston?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gelston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gelston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gelston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gelston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Gelston: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Gelston
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
