Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Voe
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Voe: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Voe, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Voe: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What else we do in Voe
Repairing versus replacing in Voe
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
