Coloured bath resurfacing in Fairwarp

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fairwarp without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fairwarp. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Fairwarp questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Fairwarp, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fairwarp

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
