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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bara, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Bara
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Lothian.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Bara?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bara and the rest of East Lothian. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in Bara?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bara as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
