DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Cefn Cribwr without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cefn Cribwr. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
