Coloured bath resurfacing in Linthouse, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linthouse
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Linthouse. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Do I need to be at home?
