About our coloured bath resurfacing in Minishant
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Minishant
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Minishant?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
All of South Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Honest limits
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’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Minishant
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Minishant, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Minishant
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
