Common questions in The Frenches
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we are called out for in The Frenches
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
