Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Porth
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Porth
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Porth?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Porth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites

- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
