Coloured suite to white in Carclaze, Cornwall
We travel to Carclaze for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Carclaze without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Carclaze?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Carclaze and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why repair rather than replace?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
