About our coloured bath resurfacing in St Ive Cross

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ive Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in St Ive Cross

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in St Ive Cross?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in St Ive Cross?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for St Ive Cross. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

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 will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
