About our coloured bath resurfacing in Port Appin
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Port Appin. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Port Appin
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Appin use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
