How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-y-groes
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-y-groes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For a price in Pen-y-groes, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Pen-y-groes
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-y-groes
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
