Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Midland
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

About Midland
Midland is about 9 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We travel to customers in Midland and the surrounding area, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Midland is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Jobs in KW17 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Neighbouring places we cover include Orphir (1 mile north-east), Clestrain (2 miles north-west), Kirbister (3 miles north-east), Germiston (4 miles north) and Clouston (5 miles north-west). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Midland: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Midland?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
