Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Penrhiwceiber
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Penrhiwceiber questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Are there extra charges for Penrhiwceiber?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

- The material

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
