Coloured bath resurfacing for Bishop's Quay homes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bishop's Quay, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bishop's Quay

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop's Quay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Bishop's Quay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Quay

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.

Questions from Bishop's Quay

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
