About our coloured bath resurfacing in Trethurgy
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 faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Trethurgy
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
