Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Dunnet
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Dunnet and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dunnet
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Dunnet
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunnet. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Dunnet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Dunnet
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dunnet?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Dunnet?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
