Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Dores
Coloured bath resurfacing for Dores, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
If you are in Dores and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Dores, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dores and across Highland. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dores?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace in Dores?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
