Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Penllergaer homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Penllergaer, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Penllergaer, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Penllergaer
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What affects the price in Penllergaer
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Penllergaer. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penllergaer?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
