Coloured bath resurfacing in Cottered without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Cottered
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you work in Cottered?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cottered. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
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’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace in Cottered?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Cottered
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottered use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
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 are doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cottered. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
