Coloured bath resurfacing in Stromness, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
