Coloured bath resurfacing in Redford, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Redford. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Your technician turns 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.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Redford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Redford?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH13 postcode.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you cover Redford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Redford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
