How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Farhill
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farhill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Farhill
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we are called out for in Farhill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For a price in Farhill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
