Coloured bath resurfacing in Lowertown-by-Helston

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lowertown-by-Helston?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Lowertown-by-Helston questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lowertown-by-Helston

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lowertown-by-Helston. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
