About our coloured bath resurfacing in Old Pentland
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Old Pentland
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Pentland. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Old Pentland: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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.
