How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rhydyfelin. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We will not 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
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Rhydyfelin: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
