About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wardhill
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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
For a price in Wardhill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
