Coloured bath resurfacing in Silvermills without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silvermills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Silvermills, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Silvermills: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Silvermills?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH3 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Silvermills included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Silvermills?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
