Coloured bath resurfacing in Boarhills, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Boarhills

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Boarhills

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

Everywhere in the UK, Boarhills included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
