Repairing versus replacing in Graig Penllyn
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Graig Penllyn without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Graig Penllyn: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
