Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Bowhill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bowhill

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bowhill and across Fife. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Bowhill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Bowhill

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Bowhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bowhill and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price
