Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Farringdon

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Farringdon?

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.

Will you travel to Farringdon?

We do: small places like Farringdon are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

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.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. For a rural home like those around Farringdon, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Farringdon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

Rented homes near Cranbrook (Devon) station (about 2.9 miles north-west) change hands frequently, and repairing coloured suites between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite. Somewhere as small as Farringdon, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
