Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Cotford

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cotford, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Cotford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Cotford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cotford

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
