Coloured bath resurfacing in Ratho without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ratho and across Edinburgh. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ratho. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Ratho questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
