How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ettrickbridge

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Ettrickbridge

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ettrickbridge?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TD7 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ettrickbridge?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ettrickbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Ettrickbridge

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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Ettrickbridge

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Ettrickbridge, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
