How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ilston
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Ilston
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swansea.
Do you cover Ilston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ilston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ilston
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Ilston
