Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Leckwith
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Leckwith
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Leckwith?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CF11 postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Leckwith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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 without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
