Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gilmerton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
What affects the price in Gilmerton
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
