Coloured suite to white in Toab, Shetland Islands
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Toab and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Toab, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
What affects the price in Toab
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Toab
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Toab
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you come to Toab?
We do. Technicians travel to Toab from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Toab?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
