Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gorran Haven
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Gorran Haven
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorran Haven
If you manage property in Gorran Haven, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Gorran Haven
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
