About coloured bath resurfacing in the Shetland Islands

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

We protect the room and ventilate it.
Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Cost

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

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)

What we’re called out for in the Shetland Islands

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Clients typically contact us about:

A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Faded or patchy colour
A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place.
