Coloured suite to white in Coombe, Cornwall
We travel to Coombe for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, 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 Coombe without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Coombe questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Coombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coombe and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Coombe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Coombe
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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 following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coombe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Coombe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Coombe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
