How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Inverleith
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Inverleith as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Inverleith, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Inverleith
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Inverleith
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
