Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Drift homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Drift, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Drift without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Drift
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Drift
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
