Swiss Cottage: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Swiss Cottage?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Swiss Cottage?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swiss Cottage and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Swiss Cottage
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Swiss Cottage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Swiss Cottage, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Swiss Cottage
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
