When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cosmore

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cosmore and across Dorset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cosmore?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Cosmore

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cosmore

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cosmore as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cosmore

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
