Coloured suite to white in Castletown, Highland
Coloured bath resurfacing across Castletown and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Castletown
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Castletown
If you manage property in Castletown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Castletown
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Castletown.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What else we do in Castletown
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Castletown
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
