How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Llanddew
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Llanddew questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanddew. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanddew
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Llanddew
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
What affects the price in Llanddew
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
