How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Filching

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Filching

If you manage property in Filching, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Filching

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Filching. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Filching questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
