Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Boat, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Upper Boat and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Boat, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Upper Boat, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Upper Boat
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Boat
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Upper Boat?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Upper Boat and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
The whole UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Upper Boat?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Boat?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 before booking.
