- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Towednack, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
Towednack questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Towednack?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR26 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Repair or replace in Towednack?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Towednack
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
