Coloured suite to white in Castle, Swansea
Our repair technicians come to Castle for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Castle, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Most customers in Castle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
