Coloured suite to white in Penelewey, Cornwall
We travel to Penelewey for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Penelewey
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, 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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Penelewey
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
