Coloured bath resurfacing for St Mabyn homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Mabyn, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in St Mabyn

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Mabyn

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

St Mabyn: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Do you work in St Mabyn?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Mabyn and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
