About our coloured bath resurfacing in Carnsmerry

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are 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.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Carnsmerry, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Carnsmerry

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carnsmerry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Carnsmerry: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Across the UK, so Carnsmerry is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Landlord and trade work in Carnsmerry

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, 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.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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