Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Bodmin homes
We travel to Bodmin for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What affects the price in Bodmin
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bodmin. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bodmin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Bodmin without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
