Coloured bath resurfacing in Holyrood, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holyrood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Holyrood
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Holyrood
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
