How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Burntisland
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Burntisland
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burntisland
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burntisland as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Burntisland. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Burntisland
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
