Questions from Birniehill
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Birniehill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Birniehill
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Birniehill and across South Lanarkshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Birniehill
If you manage property in Birniehill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
