What else we do in Lochgelly
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lochgelly?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
