For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Glenrothes
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Glenrothes
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Glenrothes
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
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
