- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polyphant use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Polyphant, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Polyphant and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Questions from Polyphant
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Polyphant?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Polyphant
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
