How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in St Merryn
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for St Merryn. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Merryn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Merryn

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from St Merryn
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
