How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shiel Bridge

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians 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 faded or patchy colour.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Shiel Bridge?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Shiel Bridge clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Shiel Bridge

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shiel Bridge. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
