Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Simshill
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Simshill questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Simshill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
