Ynysowen questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Ynysowen?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ynysowen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ynysowen?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF48 postcode.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ynysowen
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ynysowen use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Ynysowen
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Ynysowen?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 quote without visiting.
