Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Heogan

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Heogan

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, 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.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Heogan

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heogan. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Heogan and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

Our hiring checklist

Heogan and the surrounding area

Heogan is in the Shetland Islands. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. We cover all 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

Our visits in ZE2 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We also travel to Gremista (1 mile west), Gunnista (1 mile east), Lerwick (1 mile south-west), Sound (2 miles south-west) and Grindiscol (2 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

Local landmarks in Heogan

We visit homes around Gilbertson Park, St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church and Anderson High School, among other places. Nearby you will also find Shetland Textile Museum (0.9 miles west) and Montfield Hospital (1.3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Loch of White Ayre and Setter Hill.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heogan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
