Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Drym

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Drym and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Drym?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Drym

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Drym?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
