Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newmill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newmill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Newmill: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Newmill and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you cover Newmill?
We do. We send a technician to Newmill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Newmill?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
