Coloured suite to white in Duloe, Cornwall
Our technicians come to Duloe for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Duloe
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Duloe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Duloe?
We do. We send a technician to Duloe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we’re called out for in Duloe
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
