Common questions in Stenness
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Stenness?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Stenness?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stenness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stenness
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Covering Stenness
Stenness is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Clients in Stenness get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Stenness is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Our visits in KW16 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we cover Clouston (1 mile south-west), Grimeston (2 miles north), Germiston (2 miles east), Cairston (2 miles west) and Wasbister (3 miles north-west). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Repairing versus replacing in Stenness
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Landlord and trade work in Stenness
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stenness as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Stenness, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
