Coloured bath resurfacing in Aithsetter, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aithsetter as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Aithsetter
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Aithsetter?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ZE2 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Aithsetter
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
