About our coloured bath resurfacing in Old Town
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Town
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Town as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins

Old Town questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of the Isles of Scilly?
We cover the entire UK, including Old Town and the rest of the Isles of Scilly. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Town. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
