Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Brea

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brea

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Brea

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brea

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Brea

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Brea?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
