Coloured bath resurfacing in Butetown, done in place
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 faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What we are called out for in Butetown
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.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
Landlord and trade work in Butetown
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butetown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Butetown questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Butetown
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
