Coloured bath resurfacing in Inverness without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Inverness

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Inverness

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
