What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swansea, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swansea and the surrounding area. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Swansea
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swansea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
