Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gwaelod-y-garth
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Gwaelod-y-garth questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gwaelod-y-garth and the rest of Cardiff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace in Gwaelod-y-garth?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
