Coloured bath resurfacing in Portmead, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Portmead
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
Everywhere in the UK, Portmead included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Portmead?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA5 postcode.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What affects the price in Portmead
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Common problems we fix in Portmead
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
