Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Maxton
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 price, not a guess.
Maxton: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Maxton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Maxton and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
