Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cottingham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cottingham
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Cottingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cottingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. 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’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
