Coloured bath resurfacing in Cargreen 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’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cargreen and across Cornwall. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Cargreen

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Cargreen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Cargreen

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Are there extra charges for Cargreen?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Cargreen. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cargreen?

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Cargreen

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
