Need coloured bath resurfacing in Mawgan Porth?

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mawgan Porth

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mawgan Porth as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Mawgan Porth

What happens after I send pictures?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Mawgan Porth?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mawgan Porth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
