How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bilberry
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bilberry questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bilberry?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bilberry. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Bilberry
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
