Coloured bath resurfacing in St Germans without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What we’re called out for in St Germans

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for St Germans. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in St Germans get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in St Germans

Will it make a mess?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
