Coloured bath resurfacing in Sirhowy, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Sirhowy
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Sirhowy: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Blaenau Gwent?
Across the UK, and that includes Sirhowy. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Sirhowy?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sirhowy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we’re called out for in Sirhowy
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sirhowy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
