Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in St Blazey

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Blazey

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Blazey

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Blazey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in St Blazey?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in St Blazey

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What affects the price in St Blazey

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
