Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Millport
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Millport
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Millport and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Millport?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What affects the price in Millport
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Millport. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Millport
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
