Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tain
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Where we work around Tain
Tain is about 24 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Tain is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
Here we cover the IV19 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Market Street, High Street and Station Road and the roads around them. You will find Tain on the A9 and B9174, so it’s easy for us to reach.

Landmarks near Tain
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Tain and Tain Royal Academy, among other places. There is a railway station in Tain itself: Tain station. A little further out are Tain and District Museum (under half a mile north-east) and Dornoch Castle (4.9 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Loch Eye.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Tain
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tain. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
