FAQs for Cefn Hengoed
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cefn Hengoed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cefn Hengoed
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Cefn Hengoed?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
