Coloured bath resurfacing near Markinch

Coloured bath resurfacing in Markinch without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Markinch: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Markinch

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Markinch

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Markinch. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Markinch, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Markinch

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markinch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Markinch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
