Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Dowlais Top
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Common questions in Dowlais Top
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
