Coloured bath resurfacing in St Nicholas and Bonvilston, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Questions from St Nicholas and Bonvilston
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cardiff.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace in St Nicholas and Bonvilston?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
