Coloured bath resurfacing in Llanharan without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Llanharan
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Llanharan
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Llanharan questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Llanharan
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanharan
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
