Repair or replace in Netherburn?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Netherburn, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new 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, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Netherburn
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Netherburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
