How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rhyd-y-car
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Rhyd-y-car questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Rhyd-y-car
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlord and trade work in Rhyd-y-car
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Rhyd-y-car
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rhyd-y-car. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
