Questions from Tresavean

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tresavean

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

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. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tresavean

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tresavean as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
