About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cotford St Luke

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Cotford St Luke questions

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotford St Luke

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Cotford St Luke

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotford St Luke use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotford St Luke. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
