Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Threewaters
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Threewaters. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Threewaters
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Threewaters
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
