Coloured bath resurfacing in New Town, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in New Town
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
New Town: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How the visit works

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
