Coloured bath resurfacing in South Gyle without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
Most jobs around South Gyle are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in South Gyle
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Edinburgh, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a smaller place like South Gyle, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. If your suite in South Gyle is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
