Questions from Machen
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Machen
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Machen, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
