Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandy
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Questions from Sandy
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Sandy?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Other services in Sandy
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sandy, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Sandy
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
