About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ynys-fach
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Landlord and trade work in Ynys-fach
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Ynys-fach, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Ynys-fach: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Ynys-fach?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ynys-fach. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?
Across the UK, and that includes Ynys-fach. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
