Coloured bath resurfacing in Cockington without replacing anything

Common questions in Cockington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Cockington?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TQ2 postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Cockington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Other services in Cockington
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Cockington
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cockington. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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.
