How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Machynys
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new 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 basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Landlord and trade work in Machynys
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we are called out for in Machynys
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Machynys: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you work in Machynys?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Machynys and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Machynys, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Machynys
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Machynys. The price comes down to:

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
