Coloured bath resurfacing in St Teath without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in St Teath

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

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Teath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in St Teath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

St Teath: your questions answered

What about the toilet?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
