How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Grimeston
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Grimeston
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Repairing versus replacing in Grimeston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
