Coloured bath resurfacing for Pengegon homes

What affects the price in Pengegon

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pengegon without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pengegon

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Pengegon questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Pengegon and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
