Coloured bath resurfacing near Chacewater

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chacewater

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Landlord and trade work in Chacewater

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Common problems we fix in Chacewater

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Choosing a repair company

Chacewater questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Chacewater?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chacewater. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Chacewater

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole suite

For a price in Chacewater, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
