About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wilcove
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wilcove. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Wilcove
If you manage property in Wilcove, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Common questions in Wilcove
Are there extra charges for Wilcove?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Wilcove is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Wilcove?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What else we do in Wilcove
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wilcove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
