Coloured bath resurfacing near Connor Downs

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Connor Downs, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Connor Downs as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book

What affects the price in Connor Downs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Connor Downs

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, 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 you cover Connor Downs?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Connor Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Connor Downs?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR27 postcode.

Landlord and trade work in Connor Downs

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Connor Downs as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Connor Downs?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
