Coloured suite to white in Greenbank, Edinburgh
We travel to Greenbank for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Greenbank
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 faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Greenbank and across Edinburgh. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Greenbank
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Greenbank?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Greenbank
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Greenbank. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Greenbank
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Greenbank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
