Coloured bath resurfacing in Ford

Ford: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about the toilet?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?

Across the UK, so Ford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ford without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Ford

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ford. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
