Coloured bath resurfacing in Monkscross, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Monkscross
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What affects the price in Monkscross
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
