  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Humbie

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
