Farringdon: your questions answered
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Farringdon
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farringdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Farringdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farringdon
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
