How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ponsanooth
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ponsanooth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
