Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornliebank
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What we are called out for in Thornliebank
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
