Swallow: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work in Swallow?
We do. We send a technician to Swallow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Swallow
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Swallow?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Swallow
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common problems we fix in Swallow
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swallow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swallow, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
