Coloured bath resurfacing in Piershill

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Piershill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Piershill

Do you come to Piershill?

We do. We send a technician to Piershill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Piershill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Piershill?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Piershill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Piershill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Piershill customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
