About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aberdovey

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Aberdovey

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberdovey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Aberdovey

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Aberdovey

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LL35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
