Coloured bath resurfacing in Stornoway without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are 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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Stornoway

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Stornoway

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stornoway

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
