About our coloured bath resurfacing in Penberth
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Penberth and across Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Penberth: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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)
