A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling.

Questions from Tremorfa
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you cover Tremorfa?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tremorfa and the rest of Cardiff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tremorfa
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
What affects the price in Tremorfa
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For a price in Tremorfa, photos 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.
