Dunfermline: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Dunfermline?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dunfermline. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
If you are in Dunfermline and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Dunfermline
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Dunfermline. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dunfermline
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s 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
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
