Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Aberaman

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Aberaman: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Aberaman?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aberaman for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberaman use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
