About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wasbister
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wasbister. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Wasbister get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Wasbister
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Wasbister questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
