Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Foelgastell
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Foelgastell. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Foelgastell: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Carmarthenshire.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Foelgastell?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Repair or replace in Foelgastell?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
