Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in South Tehidy get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book

Common problems we fix in South Tehidy
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
