Common questions in Cold Row
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Cold Row
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cold Row. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
