Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Charlestown
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Charlestown
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace in Charlestown?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
