FAQs for Lambhill
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Lambhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lambhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lambhill without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Lambhill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- 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
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
What affects the price in Lambhill
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
