What affects the price in Cae-draw
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cae-draw
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Cae-draw
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Merthyr Tydfil.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cae-draw
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
