Coloured bath resurfacing in Porthgwidden without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Porthgwidden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Porthgwidden
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
