Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West Darlochan
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in West Darlochan
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover West Darlochan?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to West Darlochan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in West Darlochan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Darlochan, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
