Coloured bath resurfacing in Kelso without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Kelso
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kelso. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Kelso
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Kelso?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kelso. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
