Strathy questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Strathy.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Strathy?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Strathy

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How to compare quotes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Strathy, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
