Our work in Kirbister
Kirbister is about 6 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Jobs in Kirbister are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from photos, then a visit to do the work. Kirbister is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Here we cover the KW17 postcode area. Kirbister sits on or near the A964, so getting to you is simple. We also travel to Orphir (2 miles south-west), Midland (3 miles south-west), Germiston (3 miles north-west), Greenigoe (3 miles east) and Clestrain (3 miles west).

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirbister without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kirbister questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Kirbister?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once

- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
