About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sarn
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sarn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Sarn: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sarn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sarn?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Sarn
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Sarn, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Sarn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
