Coloured bath resurfacing for Argoed homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Argoed

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Argoed

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Argoed as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Argoed, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Argoed?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Argoed

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking

  • Colour-matched on site

Questions from Argoed

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Argoed?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Argoed for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What information do you need?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Argoed?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
