Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Faulkland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire suite
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Faulkland, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Faulkland
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Faulkland
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Related advice
What we can’t put right
In fairness, 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically cheaper.
What we are called out for in Faulkland
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
