DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cornish Hall End

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Cornish Hall End: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Cornish Hall End, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
