Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Willowbrae, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Willowbrae questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
