Coloured bath resurfacing for Cairneyhill homes

Cairneyhill: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Fife.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cairneyhill, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Cairneyhill clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Cairneyhill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Cairneyhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we are called out for in Cairneyhill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Customers typically contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
