How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Slateford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Slateford?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Slateford
What about the toilet?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
