How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trewollock

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trewollock and across Cornwall. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Trewollock

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Trewollock?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
