Coloured bath resurfacing near Manaccan

Coloured bath resurfacing in Manaccan, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Manaccan

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Manaccan?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
