About our coloured bath resurfacing in Farway

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Farway

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Farway

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Farway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Farway

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Farway and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on
