How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trebarber
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Trebarber get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Trebarber, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Trebarber
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Trebarber?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Trebarber and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Common problems we fix in Trebarber
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 booking.
