Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Creigiau?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Coloured bath resurfacing in Creigiau without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Creigiau: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Creigiau and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Creigiau. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
