Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in North Kelvinside
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in North Kelvinside
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Kelvinside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around North Kelvinside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why North Kelvinside clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
