Coloured bath resurfacing for Saltash homes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Saltash, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, 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 Saltash and across Cornwall. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Saltash

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Saltash?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Saltash?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Saltash from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Saltash

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Saltash clients choose us
