Coloured bath resurfacing in Parkhead without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Parkhead as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What else we do in Parkhead
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Parkhead
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Parkhead.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Parkhead
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
