- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Scottish Borders
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Scottish Borders
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scottish Borders. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
What we cannot put right
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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Scottish Borders

Common questions in Scottish Borders
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Scottish Borders?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Scottish Borders?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Scottish Borders, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
