What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oxgangs
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will say what we think.

- Coloured basins

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Oxgangs
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Common questions in Oxgangs
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Oxgangs
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour 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.
