Coloured bath resurfacing in Latchley, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Latchley
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Latchley?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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 isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Latchley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Latchley and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What else we do in Latchley
What we’re called out for in Latchley
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Latchley
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
