Coloured bath resurfacing near St Keyne

Landlord and trade work in St Keyne

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Keyne

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in St Keyne

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in St Keyne

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When to call us in St Keyne

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

Questions from St Keyne

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for St Keyne?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
