Coloured bath resurfacing in Redruth

Coloured bath resurfacing in Redruth, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Redruth: your questions answered

Do you work in Redruth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Redruth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Redruth?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire suite

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Redruth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
