For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Townhill
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Townhill questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Fife.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
