Coloured bath resurfacing in Newport-on-Tay without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

FAQs for Newport-on-Tay

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Newport-on-Tay?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Newport-on-Tay and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price
