What affects the price in Cotham
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cotham. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cotham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Cotham
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cotham and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Cotham
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Cotham
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Work done at your home or business
