Coloured bath resurfacing in Porthleven, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthleven as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
