About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lochend
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lochend and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochend
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Lochend
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lochend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For a price in Lochend, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
