How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tregrehan Mills

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Tregrehan Mills

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Tregrehan Mills?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What we are called out for in Tregrehan Mills

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Tregrehan Mills

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tregrehan Mills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
