Coloured bath resurfacing near Lamerton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lamerton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Older homes around Lamerton may have baths that have been in place for decades. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Lamerton

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. In an older home in a village like Lamerton, replacing a suite can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Lamerton

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Lamerton?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are usually worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Can you fix coloured suites in a rental near Gunnislake station?

Yes. We repair coloured suites between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Lamerton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

When to call us in Lamerton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Peter, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Questions to ask before booking
