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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Farringdon
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Farringdon questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Farringdon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farringdon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
