How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Fairham
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fairham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
When to call us in Fairham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
FAQs for Fairham
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Fairham
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairham. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Fairham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
