Landlord and trade work in Folke
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Folke as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Folke
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. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Folke
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Folke
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Folke?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Folke and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Folke. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Common problems we fix in Folke
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Folke get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
