About our coloured bath resurfacing in Llanidloes
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanidloes
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanidloes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Llanidloes questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Llanidloes?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY18 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
