What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Erth without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in St Erth

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from St Erth

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so St Erth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Common problems we fix in St Erth

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Erth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
