Coloured suite to white in Peel, Scottish Borders
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Peel, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Peel
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
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.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Common problems we fix in Peel
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
What affects the price in Peel
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TD1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Peel
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
