What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Garras

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Garras

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace in Garras?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Garras questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Garras?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
