Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Polruan
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole suite
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Polruan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When to call us in Polruan
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Polruan

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
