Coloured suite to white in Farnham, Suffolk
We travel to Farnham for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Farnham
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Farnham
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole suite
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Farnham
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you work in Farnham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Farnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Farnham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
