Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in West Pontnewydd, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

West Pontnewydd questions
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 you work in West Pontnewydd?
We do. We send a technician to West Pontnewydd for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, West Pontnewydd included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Pontnewydd
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in West Pontnewydd, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What we are called out for in West Pontnewydd
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in West Pontnewydd
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
