Coloured bath resurfacing near Gyllyngvase

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gyllyngvase

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Gyllyngvase, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Gyllyngvase

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Most customers in Gyllyngvase get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

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

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Gyllyngvase

Do I need to be at home?

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

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Gyllyngvase is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gyllyngvase. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
