Coloured bath resurfacing near Newquay

Coloured bath resurfacing in Newquay without replacing anything

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

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

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

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Newquay. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newquay

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newquay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Newquay clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newquay

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newquay

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Newquay

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
