What affects the price in Hillend
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hillend. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hillend, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hillend, 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 normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hillend and across Edinburgh. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillend as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Hillend
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hillend?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
