Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tredavoe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Tredavoe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes

DIY kit or professional 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
Tredavoe questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
