We travel to Wheal Kitty for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wheal Kitty
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What else we do in Wheal Kitty
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Wheal Kitty: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Wheal Kitty?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wheal Kitty for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Wheal Kitty?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Wheal Kitty?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
