Coloured bath resurfacing near Trebilcock

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trebilcock

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Trebilcock: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you cover Trebilcock?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Trebilcock and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trebilcock

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
