What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Far Cotton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Far Cotton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Far Cotton

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Far Cotton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Far Cotton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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