About our coloured bath resurfacing in Melrose
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Melrose as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Melrose
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Melrose?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Melrose for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Melrose
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
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 before you book.

What else we do in Melrose
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
