Coloured bath resurfacing for Porthallow homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Porthallow, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Porthallow: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Porthallow and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Porthallow?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Porthallow

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Porthallow. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
