Coloured suite to white in Y Bala, Gwynedd
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Y Bala, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Y Bala
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Y Bala. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For a price in Y Bala, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Y Bala questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?
All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Y Bala, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
