When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cawkwell

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Cawkwell

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Cawkwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cawkwell and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cawkwell?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Cawkwell

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Cawkwell clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
