Coloured suite to white in Riverside, Cardiff
We travel to Riverside for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Coloured bath resurfacing in Riverside, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
What affects the price in Riverside
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Most customers in Riverside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Riverside
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t 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
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
