Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Pentwyn

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pentwyn without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Pentwyn: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
