Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Church Cove, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Cove use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Church Cove without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, 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 how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Church Cove
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Church Cove included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Church Cove?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Church Cove. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Church Cove. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Church Cove, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
