DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Philpstoun without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Old Philpstoun
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Old Philpstoun?
We do. Technicians travel to Old Philpstoun from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Old Philpstoun
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
