Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Toab
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Questions from Toab
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Orkney Islands.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What affects the price in Toab
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
