Coloured bath resurfacing near Fir Toll

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fir Toll

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire suite

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Fir Toll: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fir Toll.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fir Toll. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Fir Toll customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
