Coloured bath resurfacing for Penzance homes

What affects the price in Penzance

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Penzance, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Penzance, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Penzance questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Penzance?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Penzance from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Penzance?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR18 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Penzance

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
