Coloured bath resurfacing in Riggend, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting 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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Riggend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
