Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Palnackie
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Palnackie
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Palnackie
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
If you’re in Palnackie and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Palnackie. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
