Common questions in Newhaven
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Newhaven?
We do. Technicians travel to Newhaven from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Newhaven?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Covering Newhaven
Newhaven is about 3 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so there is no waiting around. Newhaven is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh where we work.
Our visits in EH6, EH5 and EH7 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Jobs here include addresses on York Road, Park Road and Ferry Road and the roads around them. Newhaven sits on or near the A901, so getting to you is simple. Neighbouring places we cover include Victoria Park (1 mile south), North Leith (1 mile south-east), Bonnington (1 mile south-east), Powderhall (1 mile south) and Leith (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as Edinburgh (3 miles south), West Coates (3 miles south-west), Sciennes (3 miles south), Merchiston (3 miles south), Newington (3 miles south) and Queensferry (8 miles west).
Around Newhaven

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Newhaven

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
