Coloured bath resurfacing in Cockwood

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cockwood

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Cockwood

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Cockwood?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Cockwood

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

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

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Cockwood

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
