About Preston
Preston is about 13 miles west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, in the Scottish Borders. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Preston is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders where we work. We work right across the region, from Preston to Edinburgh (about 35 miles away).
We cover every part of TD11 and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Preston: Duns (2 miles south), Clockmill (3 miles south-west), Gavinton (3 miles south-west), Chirnside (5 miles east) and Grantshouse (5 miles north).
Landmarks near Preston
In Preston, that means homes near Preston Church. Other landmarks nearby include Knoll Hospital (2.5 miles south) and Cockburn Tower (1.7 miles north-west). Not far away are Duns Castle nature reserve and Duns Law.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Preston, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Common questions in Preston
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you come to Preston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Preston and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Preston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Preston?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

When to call us in Preston

Repairing versus replacing in Preston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
