Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Heol-las without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Heol-las. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage

- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
