About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aberarth

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Aberarth

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Aberarth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Aberarth and the rest of Ceredigion. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Aberarth?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Aberarth

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Aberarth. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberarth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price
