Coloured suite to white in Back, Na h-Eileanan Siar
Coloured bath resurfacing across Back and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Back
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Back
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Back included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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 before you book.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
