Lynstone questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Are there extra charges for Lynstone?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Lynstone and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lynstone

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lynstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Lynstone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
