How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-sarn
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Pen-sarn: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-sarn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repair or replace in Pen-sarn?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Pen-sarn

- Faded or patchy colour
