How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in The Common
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Common and across Swansea. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in The Common
For anyone letting property in or around The Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The Common: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What affects the price in The Common

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
