Coloured bath resurfacing for Farlington homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Farlington, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Farlington

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 contact us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Farlington

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Farlington questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Farlington?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Farlington?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Honest limits

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Farlington

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farlington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Farlington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. 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.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
