How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lerwick
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lerwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lerwick
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lerwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Lerwick
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Lerwick: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
