Coloured suite to white in Highertown, Cornwall

- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Highertown
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Highertown

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

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Highertown
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Highertown
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
