Coloured bath resurfacing for Folkingham homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Folkingham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Folkingham

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Folkingham questions

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Folkingham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Folkingham

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
