About our coloured bath resurfacing in Rumney
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Items cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, 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 what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Rumney questions
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rumney
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Rumney
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole suite
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
