About our coloured bath resurfacing in Innermessan
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Innermessan
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
What affects the price in Innermessan
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Innermessan questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you come to Innermessan?
We do. We send a technician to Innermessan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Innermessan
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Innermessan use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Innermessan?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
