How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pontcanna
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Pontcanna
Pontcanna questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Pontcanna?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontcanna. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Pontcanna get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Pontcanna
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
