Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Auldgirth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Auldgirth
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Auldgirth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

FAQs for Auldgirth
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are there extra charges for Auldgirth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
