Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Coldingham without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, 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.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • 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.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coldingham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

Questions from Coldingham

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.
