Coloured bath resurfacing in Calenick

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Coloured bath resurfacing in Calenick without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Calenick and across Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Calenick

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Calenick and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Calenick

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Calenick?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Calenick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
