Advice
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Finstown
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

About Finstown
Finstown is about 6 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Finstown, so there’s no workshop to go to. Finstown is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover.
Our repair technicians cover all of KW17. Whether you live on Grimond Square, Fletts Corner and Seafield or a nearby road, we can come to you. Finstown sits on or near the A965, so getting to you is simple. We also travel to Heddle (1 mile south-west), Grimbister (1 mile south-east), Germiston (2 miles south-west), Bimbister (3 miles north-west) and Grimeston (3 miles west). As one of the bigger places in the Orkney Islands, Finstown sees plenty of our work. For island and remote addresses, call first so we can plan the visit.

What affects the price in Finstown
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Landlord and trade work in Finstown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Finstown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Finstown
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Finstown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
