About our coloured bath resurfacing in Silverknowes
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Silverknowes

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
