Coloured bath resurfacing for Pridden homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pridden

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Pridden

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Pridden and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Pridden

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
