Common questions in Boarshead
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Boarshead without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boarshead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Boarshead
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled

Should you replace it?
