Coloured bath resurfacing in Govanhill without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Govanhill. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match

- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Govanhill: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Govanhill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Govanhill
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
