How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in New Byth
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

New Byth questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you come to New Byth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Byth and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
