Coloured bath resurfacing in Cockwells without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cockwells
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover Cockwells?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cockwells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cockwells
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Cockwells
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
