St Breward questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in St Breward?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Breward

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in St Breward

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in St Breward

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Breward. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
