Questions from Granton
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Granton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH5 postcode.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What affects the price in Granton
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Granton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Granton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
