Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Merthyr Tydfil

Coloured bath resurfacing across Merthyr Tydfil: what to expect

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Cost

Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairing versus replacing

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Merthyr Tydfil. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Merthyr Tydfil get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common problems we fix in Merthyr Tydfil

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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)

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Merthyr Tydfil

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Merthyr Tydfil.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send photos?

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will you leave a mess?

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