Coloured bath resurfacing in Cowmes

Landlord and trade work in Cowmes

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cowmes, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowmes as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Cowmes

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Common problems we fix in Cowmes

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
