- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Marybank
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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 next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Marybank
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Marybank. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Marybank, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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’ll say what we think.
