About our coloured bath resurfacing in Muirhouse
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Muirhouse get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Muirhouse: your questions answered
Do you come to Muirhouse?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Muirhouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
