Coloured suite to white in Treninnick, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Treninnick for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

The process
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 one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What else we do in Treninnick
When to call us in Treninnick
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Treninnick questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Treninnick?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Treninnick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
