Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Colbost homes
We travel to Colbost for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Common problems we fix in Colbost
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Coloured bath resurfacing in Colbost, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colbost. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

FAQs for Colbost
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Colbost.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
