Coloured bath resurfacing in Penyrheolgerrig, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
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.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

FAQs for Penyrheolgerrig
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Penyrheolgerrig?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Penyrheolgerrig. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Penyrheolgerrig, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
