Coloured bath resurfacing in Merkinch without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
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. We do not charge extra for travel to Merkinch. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Merkinch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Merkinch
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Merkinch.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Merkinch?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What else we do in Merkinch
Repair or replace in Merkinch?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
