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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Porthloo
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Porthloo
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire suite
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Porthloo clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Porthloo
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Porthloo, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthloo use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
