Coloured bath resurfacing near Truro

Coloured bath resurfacing in Truro, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Truro

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Truro

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the whole UK, including Truro and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Truro?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Truro

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Truro get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Truro customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
