Coloured bath resurfacing in Cocklake without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Cocklake
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Cocklake
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cocklake and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you come to Cocklake?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cocklake for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cocklake. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
