Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rubislaw
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

What else we do in Rubislaw
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Rubislaw
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Rubislaw contact us include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Rubislaw: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Aberdeen, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Rubislaw?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Rubislaw
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rubislaw. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
