What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottingley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Cottingley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cottingley

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cottingley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cottingley. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Cottingley

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
