Coloured bath resurfacing in Penrhiwgarreg without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Penrhiwgarreg
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Common problems we fix in Penrhiwgarreg
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Most clients in Penrhiwgarreg get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
