About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cowley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cowley
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Cowley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cowley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cowley?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cowley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
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.

- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
