What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Killen
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Our work in Killen
Killen is about 9 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We visit customers in Killen, so there’s no workshop to go to. Killen is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
Here we cover the IV9 postcode area. We also cover the places around Killen: Avoch (2 miles south-east), Fortrose (3 miles east), Munlochy (3 miles south-west), Rosemarkie (4 miles east) and Cullicudden (4 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Inverness (9 miles south), Nairn (13 miles east), Cradlehall (8 miles south), Merkinch (8 miles south), Dingwall (8 miles west) and Hilton (9 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Repair or replace in Killen?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Killen
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Common questions in Killen
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Killen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
