If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cremyll
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cremyll. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
