About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cotham

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 coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cotham and across Nottinghamshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Cotham

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Cotham: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Cotham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cotham and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cotham.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cotham?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
