Coloured bath resurfacing in West Pilton without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

West Pilton questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for West Pilton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in West Pilton
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in West Pilton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
