Coloured bath resurfacing in Falconwood without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Falconwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Falconwood: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Falconwood?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DA16 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Falconwood

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Falconwood. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Falconwood

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Repairing versus replacing in Falconwood

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Falconwood

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
