About our coloured bath resurfacing in Longman
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longman and across Highland. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Longman
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Longman questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Highland.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longman. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
Most customers in Longman get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
