Coloured bath resurfacing in Turfdown, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Turfdown: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Turfdown is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Turfdown?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Turfdown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Turfdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Turfdown
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
