Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Aberfan

Coloured bath resurfacing in Aberfan, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Aberfan

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Aberfan

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Aberfan. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberfan
