Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shawhead
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Shawhead
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Shawhead and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Shawhead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Landlord and trade work in Shawhead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shawhead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
