Coloured bath resurfacing in Faverdale, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Faverdale and across Darlington. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Faverdale
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Faverdale questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Faverdale is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What else we do in Faverdale
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Faverdale. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Common problems we fix in Faverdale
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- 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
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
