About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tregew
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tregew as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Tregew
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tregew. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tregew use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
