The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fartown
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

What we’re called out for in Fartown
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
