Landlords, agents and businesses in Llancarfan
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Llancarfan
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Llancarfan. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Llancarfan
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
