Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Auchleven
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Auchleven and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Auchleven, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Auchleven questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
