The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Launceston
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Launceston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Launceston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Launceston
Are there extra charges for Launceston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Launceston?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repair or replace in Launceston?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
