How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Melby
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Melby?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Melby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Melby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Melby and the surrounding area
Melby is in the Shetland Islands. Clients in Melby get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Melby is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover.
Our visits in ZE2 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we cover Sandness (1 mile south-east), Walls (6 miles south-east), Aith (10 miles east), Easter Skeld (11 miles south-east) and Brae (12 miles north-east). If you are somewhere remote, call first so we can plan the visit.
Local landmarks in Melby
We visit homes around St Margaret's Kirk and Graveyard. For a walk, there is Loch of Norby.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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 we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Melby
Repairing versus replacing in Melby
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Melby
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
