Coloured bath resurfacing near Aberdare

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Aberdare

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Aberdare

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

Everywhere in the UK, Aberdare included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Aberdare?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
