About our coloured bath resurfacing in Farnham

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Farnham?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Farnham?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Farnham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Farnham: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
