Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Portsoy
Our repair technicians come to Portsoy for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Portsoy
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
What we are called out for in Portsoy
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portsoy. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
