How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Livingston
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Livingston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Livingston
If you manage property in Livingston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Livingston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Livingston questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Livingston?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
