Coloured bath resurfacing in Hendy-Gwyn without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
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 tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hendy-Gwyn
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Hendy-Gwyn
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work in Hendy-Gwyn?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hendy-Gwyn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hendy-Gwyn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Hendy-Gwyn, 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.
