What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tomperrow

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tomperrow

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Tomperrow: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tomperrow included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tomperrow. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Tomperrow

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tomperrow?

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

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Tomperrow

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
