How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Saughtonhall
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. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Saughtonhall and across Edinburgh. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Saughtonhall
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white 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.
