Questions from Boleside
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Boleside?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Boleside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Boleside
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Boleside and everywhere else. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boleside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Boleside customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Boleside
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
