Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Trewint
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trewint and across Cornwall. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Trewint
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
When we would advise against a repair

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Trewint
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Do you work in Trewint?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Trewint. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, and that includes Trewint. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Trewint. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trewint. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
