Coloured suite to white in Ely, Cardiff
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Ely: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ely
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Faded or patchy colour

FAQs for Ely
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Ely?
We do. We send a technician to Ely for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Ely
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ely
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Ely, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Ely
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
