Coloured bath resurfacing in Harrowbarrow, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harrowbarrow as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Harrowbarrow. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Harrowbarrow questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Harrowbarrow?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 typically cheaper.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Harrowbarrow?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
