About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gilfach
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

About Gilfach
Gilfach is about 1 mile north-west of Cefn Fforest, in Caerphilly. Our technicians come to clients in Gilfach and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Gilfach is one of 94 places in Caerphilly where we work. You can also see our page for Birmingham, about 79 miles away.
We cover every part of the CF81, NP12 and CF82 postcode area and the streets around it. From The Avenue, Gwerthonor Road and Gwerthonor Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Bargoed (1 mile north), Glan-y-nant (1 mile south), Pen-pedair-heol (1 mile south-west), Pengam (1 mile south-east) and Aberbargoed (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Caerphilly (7 miles south), Risca (8 miles south-east), Trecceln (4 miles east), Newbridge (4 miles east), Beddau (7 miles south) and Trecenydd (7 miles south).
Local landmarks in Gilfach
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Lewis School Pengam, Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargod and Gilfach Fargoed Primary School. Nearby too are Capel Hotel (less than half a mile north-east) and St Margaret's (under half a mile north-east). There is a railway station in Gilfach itself: Gilfach Fargoed station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Llancaiach Fawr Living History Museum (2.5 miles south-west) and Twyn Castell (1.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Parc Coetir Bargoed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilfach use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Questions from Gilfach
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
If you’re in Gilfach and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gilfach. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gilfach?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
