Repair or replace in Pitcaple?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Pitcaple
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pitcaple
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pitcaple as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Pitcaple
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pitcaple?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AB51 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Pitcaple questions
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Pitcaple included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
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.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
