Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Mortonhall?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mortonhall
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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 without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mortonhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mortonhall?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What affects the price in Mortonhall

- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
