Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Cotes

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cotes, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Cotes

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cotes

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.
