Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirn, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirn. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
