Coloured bath resurfacing in Tranent, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tranent, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Tranent
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Tranent?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Landlord and trade work in Tranent
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tranent use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Other services in Tranent
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tranent?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Most customers in Tranent get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
