How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Abertillery

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Abertillery

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Abertillery?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Abertillery

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abertillery use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Abertillery. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
