Coloured bath resurfacing near Laity Moor

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Laity Moor

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Laity Moor?

Replacing a coloured suite involves 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Laity Moor clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Laity Moor

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Laity Moor

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Laity Moor.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover Laity Moor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Laity Moor. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
