How the visit works

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cwm-y-glo. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Cwm-y-glo: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Cwm-y-glo?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cwm-y-glo. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
