Coloured bath resurfacing in Portwrinkle, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portwrinkle and across Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Portwrinkle
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Portwrinkle?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
