Coloured bath resurfacing near Lanreath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lanreath without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Lanreath

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lanreath. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
