Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Altnaharra
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Altnaharra
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Altnaharra?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Altnaharra and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Altnaharra
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Altnaharra
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
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
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
