Coloured bath resurfacing in Cogenhoe without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cogenhoe. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Cogenhoe: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
