What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ruthven. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB54 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ruthven
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ruthven

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Common questions in Ruthven
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Ruthven?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ruthven. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Common problems we fix in Ruthven
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
