The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cockfield

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common questions in Cockfield

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Cockfield?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cockfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP30 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What we cannot put right

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cockfield

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Cockfield

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cockfield. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

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

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
