Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Helford Passage: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Helford Passage?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Helford Passage. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
